Princess Eugenie has long been an advocate for sustainability and global preservation. In April 2024, the British royal attended a fashion sustainability panel in London, wearing a design courtesy of Gabriela Hearst, a designer who’s made sustainability a cornerstone of her eponymous label’s mission.
Rebecca Vallance is a brand that strives for sustainability, sharing a similar vocation with Hearst. The Australian fashion label endeavors to meet ethical sourcing standards as part of its practices, per the brand’s sustainability statement.
